History
In 453 AS, many sought an easier life from themselves and moved into the newly established Vostarian Empire. These commoners weren't seeking the luxurious city life of Andros, but a quiet little hamlet out in the country. Eventually, they stumbled upon a clearing between the Daggerwood and Forlorn Forest, where they eventually settled.

in 721 AS, they discovered that the lake is inhabited by Merfolk. They soon established a friendly relationship, living together peacefully and soon integrating each others cultures.

Geography
The land is tropical, palm trees and warm water surround this small village. Cool gentle winds gust through creating an ideal environment to live in.

Trade
Fishing here is almost perfect, and Averland has reaped its benefits. It sells its fish all across the Empire and even across the lake itself. They also dive for fresh water clams to harvest pearls. The merfolk deep in the lake often come to trade their gemstones for wares in Averland, and it is fairly common to see them here.

Rumours & Legends
